LEADERS of the Group of Seven (G-7) major industrialised democracies pledged on Monday to speed up work on a transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP) deal that has provoked fierce opposition on both sides of the Atlantic.
A final communique at the end of a G-7 summit in Germany said: "We will immediately accelerate work on all TTIP issues, ensuring progress in all the elements of the negotiations, with the goal of finalising understandings on the outline of an agreement as soon as possible, preferably by the end of this year."
